Eric Holder getting deeper and deeper

We have not had an Attorney General this corrupt since the days of John Mitchell (Nixon's AG)
From CBS News:

House committee schedules contempt vote against HolderCBS News has learned the House Oversight Committee will vote next week on whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. It's the fourth time in 30 years that Congress has launched a contempt action against an executive branch member.

This time, the dispute stems from Holder failing to turn over documents subpoenaed on October 12, 2011 in the Fast and Furious "gunwalking" investigation.

A bit more:

"The Obama Administration has not asserted Executive Privilege or any other valid privilege over these materials and it is unacceptable that the Department of Justice refuses to produce them. These documents pertain to Operation Fast and Furious, the claims of whistleblowers, and why it took the Department nearly a year to retract false denials of reckless tactics," Issa wrote in an announcement of the vote to be released shortly. It will reveal the vote is scheduled for Wednesday, June 20.

Issa says the Justice Department can still put a stop to the contempt process at any time by turning over the subpoenaed documents.

The vote is set for Wednesday, June 20th. The rules only apply to the little people.
Someone, somewhere is writing a book about Holder and it will be devestating. The guy is completely corrupt.
